Abstract

Plastic has done more to revolutionize the medical industry over the past century than any other material. Syringes, intravenous bags, personal protective equipment (PPE), catheters, and test kits—plastic is ubiquitous throughout medicine. It’s easy to see why. Plastic is low-cost, easy to process, and can be sterilized efficiently. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
